Stumping Iron Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi I am wondering where there are sites in Northern Ireland that you are allowed to fossil around in that have some fossils. I have searched on the web but there are only places that are prohibited to collect fossils. I don't really mind what fossils there are there and I am going there at the end of December if anyone can help thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Found this site online. Sorry - link is defunct. Not sure if it will be helpful at all. Might be worth engaging a travel agent to make sure you can collect some places.

Raggedy Man Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 We have several members from Northern Ireland that collect and post their finds. I'd suggest reaching out to them for assistance. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 When I search ireland beach fossil collecting, some sites pop up discussing what is found. It's always hard to find a place to collect when you are in a strange place, but beaches are a good thing to check out because many places have public beaches that are not a park (since many fossils are protected by park laws). Also, even if you don't find any fossils, its nice to take a walk on the beach. =-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
